ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL PROGRAM
The University President has established a FAU Essential Personnel program. In the event of severe weather conditions or emergency situations, the University may suspend normal operations and classes. If normal activities are suspended, all employees whose positions are designated as essential must report to their campus as directed to prepare for an impending event or assess the University's operations after an event in order to protect the University’s assets.
Once the request for a card is received by Financial Affairs and if the individual has a current OWL Card, an Essential Personnel ID Card will be issued. If they do not have an OWL Card, they will need to go to the OWL Card Center on their campus to obtain one. The cards are valid June 1 through May 31.
Additions and Level/Tier Changes must be approved by the appropriated Dean or Director and the Provost's Office or appropriate Vice President. Deletions must be approved by Dean or Director. Personal information (home address, phone and e-mail) is optional but would be useful in contacting individuals. Questions regarding the Essential Personnel program should be directed to the appropriate Dean or Director or to Dennis Crudele. Questions regarding the forms or acquiring a card should be directed to Dianne Parkerson.
